TK Natural lamb is bred and grown by a dedicated family of farmers located around the middle of the North Island of New Zealand. All our farmers are committed to delivering quality, healthy lamb that’s 100% grass fed and pasture raised.

Very simply, Grill, Roast or Braise – essentially, cook as you would your other red meats to the temperature of your liking. As our lamb is 100% grass fed and lean, we recommend reducing your normal cooking times. We enjoy our lamb served medium rare for a full flavour experience. Check out some of our favourite lamb recipes here.

Our lamb is processed and packed in our efficient TK (Te Kuiti) plant in New Zealand. It’s packaged and perfectly sealed in a variety of ways and shipped in strictly controlled refrigerated containers to allow the meat to “age”. This results in consistently tender lamb.

The Non-GMO Project is a widely recognised standard used extensively throughout North America to provide consumer’s confidence the products meeting this standard have not been fed any Genetically Modified Feed. In New Zealand this means not fed any imported lucerne, imported stock feed, grain or grain by-products, or compounded or manufactured stock feed from birth to harvest.

We are proud to offer our lamb under both the Global Animal Partnership Step-4 accreditation programme www.globalanimalpartnership.org and be Non-GMO Project verified. www.nongmoproject.org. Our farmers care for their animals and land with the utmost compassion and consideration. They work with the natural ecosystems of their land and aim to keep the environment as pristine as possible. Many of them have set aside areas on their farm for conservation purposes, focusing on regenerating the land and water. We ensure that our lamb can be traced from the shelf back to the farm on which it was raised.

TK Natural farms are located in the temperate zones of New Zealand, where climatic extremes are uncommon, thus allowing grass growth all year round. Much of the success of New Zealand farming is based on rotational grazing management, where lambs are moved regularly to fresh pastures.

Lambs are ruminant animals, which means they were designed to eat grass. It keeps them happy and healthy. Grain fed animals are traditionally raised in feedlots with an unnatural diet based on corn or soy and are often given growth hormones and antibiotics to survive unsanitary living conditions. A grass fed diet is healthier for our animals and healthier for us too.

Today’s modern meat consumer is asking where has this meat come from? Is it safe for my family to eat? How was it raised? To satisfy these expectations we label our product with several assurances and the farm assurance programmes delivers authenticity, integrity and MPI validation.

It’s more about what you feel comfortable with. If you are new to the farm assurance process we suggest start with the TKFAP. The TKGAP standard is an Elite standard and one you can aspire to as you gain confidence in the process.
